HMD Brings Nokia's Classic 3310 Phone Back
Finnish company HMD Global Oy unveiled a range of new phones, including a redesign of the classic Nokia 3310, in a bid to win back mobile consumers.
Three new smartphones, the Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and the Nokia 6, are set to come to market in the second quarter, HMD executives said Sunday at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The Android phones support Google Assist, and will retail for 139 euros ($147) and 189 euros, respectively. HMD also showcased the re-release of the Nokia 3310, a lower-cost feature phone first sold just under 17 years ago.
HMD has previously said it will invest more than $500 million in the next three years to market the phones and tablets.
The revamped Nokia 3310 has a touch screen, but many of the phone's basic features remain. Boasting a 22-hour talk-time and month long stand-by, the Nokia 3310's fresh, colourful, modern design brings it bang up to date. The Nokia 3310 is available in four colours - Warm Red and Yellow, both with a gloss finish, and Dark Blue and Grey both with a matte finish. It will sell for about 49 euros.
